Details:

NSFontManager needs to have access to system's Font menu so that it can manage
menu items based on current selection (e.g. setting "bold" or "unbold")
This can be either be done by letting NSFontManager to create system Font menu
or be assigning Fonts menu to NSFontManager programmatically.

When NSFontManager and Font menu are both created by Gorm, there is no way how
one can connect the Fonts menu to the NSFontManager.
NSFontManager shows "menu" as outlet but as it is impossible to select NSMenu
itself (only NSMenuItem can be selected), the connection cannot be done
manually.

Alternative approach could be to simply find Font system menu at runtime and
assign it to NSFontManager (I believe that's what NextStep and Mac OS does).
